Running Right Turn Quickstep
Notes
The Running Right Turn is a sequence of three figures danced end to end:
Natural Pivot Turn + 1-3 Foxtrot Natural Turn + Running Finish
It should be noted that the unlike 1-3 Foxtrot Natural Turn, where the subsequent figure is begun with Man and Lady in line, the Running Finish is begun Outside Partner.
Timing
Both the Ballroom Technique and The Quickstep and Basic Principles give a standard (1.) and an alternate timing (2.):
1. Natural Pivot Turn (SQQS) + Natural Turn (SSS) + Running Finish (QQS)
2. Natural Pivot Turn (SQQS) + Natural Turn (SQQ) + Running Finish (SQQ)
Rotation
Both technique books provide alternate amounts of rotation if the figure is danced across a corner or two corners. Note that "SIde of Room" is taken as the standard amount of rotation, and that 1-3 of the Natural Pivot Turn will always turn 3/8 to Right.
